Using picnic themed printables from WHHostess, we created an adorable yet quick and easy picnic using plain packaging materials. Glass water […]

Father’s Day is coming up this Sunday, so I am here today to inspire you with this fabulous {yet masculine} bbq from Honeycomb Events, as seen in the summer 2012 issue of The Party Dress Magazine. Read on for all of the details from Jeff and Jennifer:

Do you have a favorite recipe?! You know, the kind that probably started out from a recipe either from a cookbook or handed down from a friend, and over the years has morphed into one of your stand-by, go-to recipes for any occasion?! This corn and tomato salad is definitely one of mine! It’s appeared at BBQs, […]

Most people consider fruit a “dessert”…..I like to serve it as an appetizer! One of my go-to appetizer ideas for summer is this simple watermelon and feta cheese recipe that I shared in the summer issue of The Party Dress Magazine. It’s quick and easy to put together, and you can really adapt the look (or […]

Ice pops are an easy way to appease the crowd and get creative in the kitchen. Use your imagination by mixing up whatever ingredients and containers you have in your kitchen, or create a theme to match an event–the options are endless! I whipped up 5 different types of ice pops (modern-day popsicles) for the summer […]

You can surprise your family with some simple treats made from items you probably have sitting around in your pantry. With St. Patrick’s Day falling on a Saturday this year, it’s the perfect opportunity to […]

I spent the weekend home sick with the flu. It’s been awhile since something has been able to knock me off my feet for this long….but boy, this one sure did! I’m still recovering and not back to my typically speed, but I’m sure we’ll be back operating as usual soon.

Wine & cheese is a staple (and favorite) night in our house! But it’s also a simple way to throw a party. You don’t need to mess around with an entire meal or tablesetting – just put together one fabulous plate (I prefer my wine barrel lazy susan) and dress it up with some “accessories” such […]

So, I know you have all been drooling over this picture in the fall issue of The Party Dress Magazine and have just been DYING for me to post the recipe. The day has come for me to share this sweet little treat with all of you! An exclusive recipe from our assistant editor, Charynn of […]
